Mercedes Benz Giveaway Like-Farming Scam

Supposedly, Facebook users can get the chance to win a Mercedes Benz for Christmas 2017 just by liking a post, sharing the promotion, and adding a comment specifying what colour car they would like if they win.

The prize post, which features an image depicting people posing beside a car at a Mercedes dealership, claims that 2 lucky winners will be announced on December 1st.

But, alas, the post is just another Facebook like-farming scam. People who participate have no chance whatsoever of winning a Mercedes or any other prize. There are no prizes and no winners.

The scammers created the fake giveaway post as a means of promoting their fraudulent Facebook page and accumulating large numbers of Page likes. After such a promotion, their Page will have a considerably larger potential audience. They will use this extended reach to launch survey scams or other types of fraudulent activity.
